Episode 4 — Genesis 4: Worship, Sin, and the Two Paths of Humanity


In this episode, we dive deep into Genesis 4, a powerful chapter that reveals the first acts of worship, the first murder, and the beginning of two very different spiritual lineages. From the birth of Cain and Abel to the tragic rise of jealousy and violence, Genesis 4 shows us the devastating effects of unchecked sin — and the incredible mercy of God even in the midst of human failure.


We explore:

• The births of Cain and Abel

• Why God accepted Abel’s offering but rejected Cain’s

• The warning: “Sin is crouching at your door”

• The first murder in human history

• God’s judgment and His surprising mercy

• The rise of Cain’s descendants and early human civilization

• The birth of Seth and the beginning of a godly lineage

• What it means to “call upon the name of the Lord”


This chapter reminds us that sin grows when we don’t confront it, and that every follower of Jesus faces the same choice God gave Cain:


➡️ Let sin rule you

or

➡️ Rule over sin through God’s strength


Join us as we unpack how Genesis 4 shapes our understanding of worship, responsibility, spiritual warfare, and the hope of redemption.
